Tomorrow's Hottest Designers

20 February 2012

There's something that fascinates me about Emerging Talent, maybe it 's the uncensored creativeness that comes from young designers, or the thought that this designer could be the next Christopher Bailey!

Last week I attended the BFashion Emerging Talent Show, held in a well known members club in London's West End. Designers were competing against each other to win an internship working along side the legendary Johnathan Saunders. Last season’s award was given to Ross Whittred and following the internship at Vivienne Westwood; he has now gone onto a full time position at Victoria Beckham.

Designers showing were, Paris Hawkins, Katy Jarvis, Laura Jane Bailey, Lyudmila Lane, Rachel Stott, Toni Stott, Annie Ovcharenko, Meg Cornwell, Katie Williams, and Yasmin Kheradmanden. The show began with Paris Hawkins, in my opinion a modern couturist, who merges taxidermy with apparel, this is the type of designer I love - they push the boundaries of fashion and I'm sure soon will have the types of Lady Gaga rushing for the next collection. Another designers work I fell in love with was Lyudmila Lane's, her collection emphasizes on delicate textures and movement. Her lines and shapes were exquisite, sophisticated yet youthful - a designer well worth watching.

B Fashion presented an excellent show and was the perfect way to wet my fashion appetite for the week ahead.
